Spray the inside (whichever side that happens to be, but pick one and stick with it) with FF, spray you mail with it, and then store the mail rolled up inside. Spray the mail again every month or so and you should be fine. I left mine rolled up like that in the back of my truck without once being taken out from September to last weekend, got it out, and there were only a few spots of rust.
